    Boat Speed - Faster in Choppy water

    When I start to trim it up it slows down and the nose pops up causing us to fall off plane. I can't really trim up at all without it starting to do this. By the way thank you for taking the time.

    Boat Speed - Faster in Choppy water

    When on plane it is out of the water, so much so like you mentioned when you make a sharp turn it loses contact with the water. When I lower the motor all the way, it goes the fastest, the motor very slightly leans inward, which again lets us get up to plane and go faster. So the motor being |...

    I had the default prop to begin with, it was switched out with a speed prop or something like that.

    Boat Speed - Faster in Choppy water

    Hi Dave, thanks for the follow up! Yes, it did seem to get up to plane rather than plowing through the water. Max speed was 8mph"ish" it is now 13. 'when it is calm' Max speed I reached was roughly 23mph Still considering lowering the engine down a notch, however they said it would affect...

    Boat Speed - Faster in Choppy water

    There is a little lock that you push in when you have the trim lifted up which as you said keeps it from rocking during travel. It is removed before we even back it in the water. If it isn't removed the motor doesnt even touch the water since it can't go low enough. The guys at the boat shop...

    It is an electric trim, I lower it completely with no other results. I dont think the trim can be adjusted any further.

    Boat Speed - Faster in Choppy water

    Well, it feels like it is plowing through water, basically the front is up in the air and it goes slow. When its choppy though, the front stays down and we are able to cruise. Moving weight to the front can increase the speed maybe 1-2mph. So max is 8-10mph on calm water, 20-23 on rough. This...

    Boat Speed - Faster in Choppy water

    So, I am using an Alumacraft 145 escape, 25hp motor, I have had this issue for some time just wondering if any of you have any suggestions. I go over twice the speed when the water is choppy, when it is calm I am going roughly 8-9mph. Choppy I am going roughly 20-23mph. Any ideas on what it...

    Went out last night for a couple hours, not even a nibble. Had 2 dr going, and 1 long line. "Don't worry, I wasn't fishing with 3 poles ;) I had people with me" I did get to try out my new trolling motor tho! AMAZINGLY quiet. With 3 people in the boat got it going roughly 3mph, but it was calm...
